The Marineflieger Geschwader 1 (MFG 1) from Schleswig/Jagel was the first operational unit of the Bundeswehr to be equipped with the Tornado. By 1978, the squadron had flown 145,000 flight hours on the F-104, of which approx. 112,000 were on the F-104 G. It is simply a must to include this airport. I therefore assume that it will be included in phase 2 or 3 of the map development.

Ich habe gerade eine Warthog Throttle, die ich als defekt bei Ebay ersteigert habe, relativ simpel wieder zum Laufen bringen können. Sie war voher von Windows nicht erkannt worden. Nur an einem passiven USB Hub wurde sie im Bootloader Modus erkannt, allerdings mit der Fehlermeldung, dass das Gerät nicht gestartet werden konnte. Die Bootloader Methode funktionierte deshalb auch nicht. Das Gerät tauchte nicht im Thrustmaster Bootloader auf. Hab das ganze mit mehreren Computern ausprobiert. Immer das selbe Problem. Erstmal Endstation. Was die Throttle am Ende wieder zum Leben erweckt hat, war den grossen "Chip" in der MItte und die Bauteile (Widerstände und Transistoren) an der Stelle, wo das USB Kabel angelötet ist, mit einer SMD Reflow Station für ca. 3 Minuten (auf 250°C) zu erhitzen. Habe die Teile vorher ordentlich mit Lötfett eingeschmiert. Die Reflowstation ist so ein billiges China Teil von Amazon für 35€. Wenn man irgendwie die ganzen Plastikteile abbekommen würde, könnte u.U. auch ein Backofen ausreichen. Edit: Achso, und die LED's waren in der unteren Hälfte auch aus. Da hat ein erneutes Anlöten des Kabels, auf der darüberliegenden Platine, das Problem behoben.

I also just bought one on eBay as a bargain, which was sold as defective (device is not recognized). But all attempts to reload the firmware (bootloader method) failed. I have tried 3 different computers, different USB hubs, tested the Cable etc. What was noticeable, however, was that it was recognized at least with an unpowered USB HUB, but with the error message that windows could not start the device and it didn't appear in the Firmware Loader. What finally brought the throttle back to life was to soak the pins of the Chip and the USB section (resistors and capacitors next to where the usb-cable is soldered to the board) in soldering grease and then simply heat them up with an SMD rework station (250°C) for about 3-4 minutes. Now it runs again without any problems. The rework station is a cheap china one (858D) for about 35€ from Amazon. Hope this helps.

...Says the one who went from whiteknight to hater and back to whiteknight in less than a week. Congratulations, this might be new world record! Expect a call from the Guiness foundation in the next few days.

There's something wrong with this place anyway, where people that just hold on their criticism and don't fall into an endlessly grateful submissive attitude every time they do, being denounced as toxic, hateful and badly behaved people. That someone used such words in the whole discussion of the last week was extremely rare.

Well said Viper!

I understand what you are getting at and I've played the game with Razbam before. Just be happy that someone answers. Not one more time! However, I Just keep quiet now.

A wall of text, which is missing the point and not adressing the main points of criticism. Period.

:thumbup:

This was not meant as an insult. You seemed to be more and more obsessed about something. After all, it's Saturday night. You can't be serious about the money part. There are people for whom even the 35 $/Euro sale price has a certain value.

You sound like you are already out with the boys and will have kebab later again...

I'm afraid your little history excursion won't change his mind. But thanks for these insights! It fits perfectly into the picture.

Yes, that's exactly what it was! Everyone was hostile and toxic, otherwise there were no problems :rolleyes:

they just do not get it

Many here have evolved long time ago past the stage of acting like a dog that wags its tail when a bone is presented to him

It's really sad, that people always had to loose their temper, before someone felt obligated to answer and their concerns where addressed. There have always been quiet voices saying that something is wrong here, but they were labeled toxic or hater, remember? Now that the full extent of the situation has come to light, got extra inflamed on discord instead of taking a stand here, and the ED management just didn't say anything about it, are you surprised that people got mad?

Yeah, you would think so. But in this interview a different reality is narrated. "The primary source of revenue is made from creating and supporting training tools for armed forces."

I have never accused you of using covid as an excuse.

it is very honorable that you are defending your contractor and we can all be very grateful for your content, but this is not about why the manual is not there, but amongst other things, why the module could go out of early access without the manual.I also don't like the fact that your problem with covid is being used as an excuse. If someone falls out due to illness or other reasons you have to find another way to do it, or delay it or whatever... Hope that covid thing didn't hit you too hard.

I buried my hope right away, because to talk to Razbam and " assist them with bugs " is now the consequence of everything. The time to talk to Razbam is long over and they have shown more than once that they are not willing and ED has already slept all this in the past or was also not willing. Because actually, they really should have done something substantial now, like bring it back to EA, etc. I don't know either what to be patient for. A big surprise? the weekend? Things calming down? Every module that is to leave EA should be subject to a quality check by ED before. I've really a hard time believing that this is not already the case. After all, there is a (?quality-) check when a module enters it and that this RazbamGuy insists that it is not in their hands does not make it more convincing.

Yes, these are 2 really important questions. Because nothing real has happened yet. Only: "Stay tuned, we are working on it" and the community bug tracker thread closed. And while their primary texture artist says: "Nonsense! ONLY ED can take the Harrier out of the ea, the one who says that is just a community manager and has no idea!", says the community manager:" Nonsense! Only Razbam can take the module out of ea, the one who says that is just a texture artist and has no idea!". :punch:

primary in-house texture artist :D

Why would he write that? And he is not an unimportant employee either, as far as I can tell. This whole thing is very strange

Dear NineLine. I know that you act as a buffer between us, your bosses and many others, which is especially in this case certainly very grueling. My goal is not to bring this to a head. I think what we are all aiming at here is that a decision maker should move out of the comfort zone in this regard and make some real decisions!

You can think of it as me making things up, but as I have written elsewhere, after 3 years of razbam you have your experiences. Somehow ED has always tolerated their business practices, but so openly in context with this "quiet and secretly out of EA" is really a new quality.
